Apple approves push Gmail for iPhone

In other news - we believe hell has frozen over

Apple has reportedly approved an application that lets you push Gmail to your iPhone.

The new Gpush application isn't live yet, but TechCrunch is reporting that it's been given the go ahead and will be available when the developers sort out issues with their servers.

The application uses Apple's Push Notifications system brought in with the iPhone 3.0 firmware update, as the iPhone doesn't support native push Gmail.

The new application not only gives you (almost) real-time pushed email, but also presents you with notifications as well, so you'll know when there's something to be read in your inbox.

Thawing relationship?

Given the recent problems Apple and Google seem to be having with application approval at the moment (with Google Voice and Latitude) it's surprising this has been let through, although this is a third party effort.
